Gigging since the 1990s as a member of Sydney folk rock group Acquiesce and then, briefly, electro outfit Sorija before releasing her debut solo album, The Overture & the Underscore, in 2004, multiple ARIA Award-winning Sarah Blasko knows gigging deep down in her bones.
Launching into a regional tour in February, Blasko will champion the new album, less a confessional and more an exorcism of her much-discussed break from Sydney’s infamous Hillsong Church. “Each time I put a record out, the headline of every story is always something to do with religion,” she half-jokes.
